An adult counts as 1, a child aged 7–14 as 0.7 and a child up to 6 as 0.4.
Each adult equivalent needs about 56 m² of vegetable garden with paths and 32 m² of potatoes.
In the first two years, count up to 1.5 times the area.
Each adult equivalent eats about 120 kg of vegetables, 80 kg of potatoes and 220 eggs a year.
A flock has at least 4 hens, and we add one as a reserve.
